Angie sending That Goes Left, a fun problem given 8A in the guidebook but one that is probably more like 7C, Chironico.

We are leaving Switzerland in less than a week to head to Fontainebleau. I can’t believe that five weeks have passed. Knowing what I know now about Switzerland, I want to rewind to the beginning of the trip and do it all over again. I am starting to feel comfortable here and feel like I am finally hitting my stride. There is just not enough time to climb everything I want to. Today we returned to Magic Wood to see what conditions were like. The last few times we were there it was uncomfortably cold and the trails were very icy. I managed to sneak in a few sends despite dripping boulders and freezing toes, but there are still tons of great problems I want to climb there. I was hoping things would have thawed out and dried up by today, but new snow had fallen and it was still quite cold. With time running out, I had to accept defeat and save Magic Wood for another trip.

Leaving Switzerland will be sad, but Fontainebleau awaits. I have always wanted to climb there, and I know it will be a great time. I will certainly be back here again, it’s just a matter of time…
